וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ לְפָנָ֑יו וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ
and,fell_down before,face/front,him and=they_said
See how you translated “fell … before him” in Gen 44:14. Compare that to how you translated “bowed down to/before …” (See: 49:8). Alternate translation: “and threw themselves on the ground in front of him and said,”
הִנֶּ֥נּֽוּ
behold,we
See how you translated a similar phrase (“Behold me”) in 22:1, 7. It may be necessary to translate this phrase in different ways, depending on the context.
לְךָ֖ לַעֲבָדִֽים
to/for=yourself(m) as,slaves
If you use an exclamation point here in your translation, make sure it does mean that Joseph’s brothers were angry. Rather, they were worried and desperate. Alternate translation: “we will be your slaves” or “we will serve you as slaves”
50:15-18 The brothers pleaded for Joseph’s forgiveness, referring to themselves as Joseph’s slaves (cp. 37:7; 44:16, 33). The brothers were afraid that Joseph’s earlier reconciliation with them had been motivated only by his desire to see his father again. With neither Jacob nor Pharaoh to restrain him, they feared that he might now take revenge on them. But Joseph . . . wept because they still feared reprisal.

OET (OET-RV) Then his brothers also came and bowed to the ground in front of him and pleaded, “Here we are. We belong to you as slaves.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
